It is the final round of the ORFFW home&away season, and 6 teams are fighting it out for spots 2-4 in the finals! Two of those six teams are set to play each other in a huge game between the Nymphs and Belles in Pomona! There is only one dead-rubber this round, with the Devils and the Dragons both out of the running and playing each other in Lake St Clair. The Valks are sitting pretty in first place and travel to Glenbrook, giving the Galahs a tough matchup and needing a win to remain in the top-4. The Blazers are in 2nd place, one game clear of 3rd so a win will be enough to ensure they play finals, and they host the bottom placed Comets in Timboon, Similarly, a win for the Wallabies would lock in a finals spot considering their superior points-for total, and they host the Mystix - the team with the lowest points-for in the league. The final game sees the 6th placed Sirens hosting the 9th placed Jets in Scone. The full lockout this week is at 7:15pm AEDT on Friday 16 October, at the commencement of the Dees Tigers AFLW game.
